Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Terrible personality, rude and short tempered
Telehealth
Went over bloodwork with me as she was not my usual provider. She was rude, short tempered, critical and tried to brush me off as soon as she could. Awful experience. Would definitely not recommend.

Bizarre un professional behavior
I had gotten fed up with they cold fish bedside manner , I decided to change Doctors after months of no thyroid meds and I must add I only have one parathyroid left, no thyroid and lost three para thyroid. I just went for final visit and she came in and in a high pitched voice said"whaddya ya doin in my office, I thought you fired me? Wadda ya doing here? She was acting like a thug! I was waiting for her to chest bump me!

Best Doctor Ever!
Dr. Abessi is the absolute best. She listens to symptoms and is excellent at troubleshooting health issues by connecting the dots in a way most doctors do not. She is kind, caring and professional. She really is an incredible doctor!

She has been my primary care physician for a number of years. She is thorough, asks questions and listens carefully to the patient response. More than once she identified a particular situation and made a referral to a specialist. Like all medical personnel, she is very busy but professional and accommodating. (I called her office recently, she answered because the staff were fully occupied. She listened to concerns about current medications and asked me to come in right away and she would see me.) In my experience, she takes a personal interest in the patient. I am confident in the care I receive.

Didn’t Go Well
Perhaps because it was a med refill appt, but this was the most rushed encounter I have ever had with a doctor. Did not want to discuss any of my issues - just wanted to refer out. But still looked in my mouth and noted that I had a tremor and asked if I had ever seen a neurologist! Completely unrelated to the matter at hand and very scary. No further advice given on that. And for the referrals, no specific doctor recommendations. Just a list of general numbers for other Hunterdon system departments. Really felt bad coming out of there. Feels like you are totally on your own in today’s medical “systems.” Doctors don’t appear to care about people anymore.

Awful, condescending physician
Was very disappointed in seeing dr. Mitra. She and her office never called about my blood work but lied and said they did. Then she missed my virtual consultation and called randomly 45 minutes later. I said I can reschedule and she scolded me saying she sees 100’s of patients and can’t be on time. No one should be talked down to like that. Go see your “100s” of patients. Her bedside manner and clinical knowledge is awful and I will never return.

I really liked Dr. Abessi when I met her and went to see her off and on along with her former colleague (at her former office in Belle Meade). Fast forward to my husband needing some concerns to be looked at and his doctor wasn’t available. I went in with him to the appointment because I wanted to make sure he didn’t forget to ask the important questions. I was shocked and disappointed as Dr. Abessi was quick, dismissive, and borderline rude to him. He left feeling terrible, and I felt worse for ever recommending her. I’m so glad she left our practice. From what I can see from other reviews, not much has changed.

Dr. Abessi went above and beyond when my healthy, 30 year old son contracted Covid19. Her quick thinking, and decisive action, kept him out of the hospital, prevented pneumonia, and God only knows what else! Despite his being in Queens at the time, she got the appropriate meds right to his door. I was out of state during all this, as my mother was in hospice. I’m forever grateful to Dr. Abessi for her expertise and compassion! She is simply the best!!

Just started looking for a new primary care physician after a terrible experience with Dr Abessi. She's extremely negative and has no empathy towards her patients.

I am a little surprised with the negative reviews. Based on my first visit with Dr. Abessi, I immediately felt like I was in good hands. She was attentive, very knowledgeable, and thorough. I thought she was so great that I went out of my way to tell my wife she should start seeing her (not usually something I would do). Anyway, it was only one visit but I look forward to my next. I'll be sure to update then.

I have being seeing Dr. Abessi for 7 years now, and have followed her to Whitehouse Station, and now my two daughters see her as well. She is funny, polite, extremely knowledgeable. She takes her time, listens to her patients, is very thorough and always does the right thing. She refers us to specialists who are always excellent. Love Dr. Abessi!

I’ve been Dr. Abessi’s patient for 9 years. I met her when she was in her Belle Mead office. She is a very intelligent and caring doctor who will ALWAYS do the right thing for her patient. Beware drug addicts - you will be disappointed. Her exams are thorough and I always leave her office feeling that I am being taken care of. Her staff at this office seem nice. I liked her previous staff more.

Be sure to leave plenty of extra time for your visit. She will spend 90% of your visit time talking about herself and her family of gifted physicians. In the end she offered virtually no relief for a major back injury. Arrogant without the skills to back it up. Stay away.

Dr. Abessi took care of my husband and I for 10 years. Unfortunately, we had to move away. Dr. Abessi is a very thorough, compassionate and caring doctor. When you are with her, you have her full attention. She is accessible and provides great advice. The office staff is great too.
